Takiko nodded, having expected that and gestured to her backpack before climbing into the drivers seat. Takiko hesitated for a second, blinking when she heard a dull, booming sound in the distance. She glanced around, but the trees were still obscuring her view. SHe shook her head, concentrating on the matter at hand. As usual, she didn't bother outting on the seatbelt, just started up the car. Her feet on the pedals, she turned the key, the car coughed, then stopped doing anything. "No. NonononoNO.." he murmured, trying again with her eyes closed, praying for it to work. "C'mon now, don't let us down..." she went on and sighed in relief as the car came to live. Takiko glanced into the back and at the guys. "Let's get out of here." she said and floored the pedal, getting them the hell out of there.

From time to time, she glanced into the side-mirrors, noticing that they were quickly losing the creatures, even those that had trailed them, or tried. Once they were all out of sight, she saw a proper road coming up ahead and turned onto it, slowing down a little and glancing back at the others. "Okay. Knight, get the sleeping back from my backpack and spread it out somewhere. Help my patient lie down, he needs to rest." she told him, or, rather, ordered him. Well, she [i]was[/i] apparently the oldest by at least a couple years. Though the guys might not realize, since she didn't actually look it. "Make sure his wounds are still tighly nadaged, he's lost more than enough blood already. And tell me if they're not. We've got to find some place secure soon, I have to treat him properly, stitch up the wounds, get him some antibiotics." she went on, partly just saying her thoughts out loud as she tried to get a hold of the situation and think things through. 

Takiko turned another corner, heading towards the Chicago suburbs. She blinked and gasped. "Hey! Do you see that?" she asked, pointing to the smoke billowing up into the sky, already fading out. And coming from an obviously recently blown up gas station down the street. There was debris and parts of metal spread widely around, littering the street. She hit the brakes, carefully, so as to not jostle her patient, and drove on slowly, checking out the area. She was pretty sure a gasstation wouldn't blow up on it's own, especially without any electricity working anymore. So someone had to be around. Another surivivor. And considering how loud that kind of thing must've been, there would be a lot of creatures budlting about the place soon. "So that was what I heard just now.." Takiko mumbled quietly to herself, her eyes searching their surroundings.
